Backup to disk keeps failing, why?

I am trying to do an incremental job to this disk, but every job fails after
around 1.5 gb has been sent to the usb drive.
The error in the BE log is:
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xa00084f4 - An unknown error has occured.

My backup disk is set to 100 Gb file capacity btw....

Any suggestions?

Re: Backup to disk keeps failing, why?

Hi Steve,

Please check the following:

1>Network usage.
2>User rights on the data being backed up.

Since the error comes after 1.5gb, we need to check is it the network or
the data being backed up.We need to change the options for logs so it gives
more info.

Steps>
1>Go to TOOLS
2>OPTIONS
3>Job Logs (on the left pane)
4>select the last option in the radio button options.

Now run the job again.
If it fails, check the logs to find the exact file/folder where the job fails.
